Before, the homeowner faced the daunting issue of foundational cracks and unwelcome leaks whenever it rained, causing concern and damage to their crawlspace here in Pekin, IL. They reached out to us in search of relief. As you can observe in the photos, we employed our CleanSpace system with a SmartDrain to effectively tackle the problem. After installation, the space not only became structurally sound but also visibly more appealing. We're proud to have provided a solution that's as long-lasting as it is reliable, perfectly aligning with our mission to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
Cracked foundation walls can cause a lot of problems. It can cause the wall to slowly start bowing inward over time and can leave the homeowner with a split wall and a larger issue to deal with. There is a solution to the problem and that is a PowerBrace System. A homeowner in Pekin, IL had a bowing wall that had a large crack running through the foundation wall. The crack has grown over time and we were more than happy to stop it in its tracks!
When there is limited access to or no access to the exterior foundation walls a PowerBrace is the best solution to stabilize and straighten walls. There could be no access to the exterior due to property lines, underground obstacles, or even landscaping that would not allow another system to be installed. A beam is installed against a foundation wall and bolted to the floor slab below and above to stop the wall from further bowing inward. It is positioned like this to keep the two forces equal allowing the wall to become straight over time and not bow inward. During dry periods, the PowerBrace can be tightened with the adjustable top bracket to allow the system to become straighter over time.
The wall is now permanently stabilized thanks to the MidAmerica Basement Systems Team. The homeowner now has one less worry when it comes to their once bowing basement wall. If you too are looking to have a cracked, bowing, foundation wall fixed, do not hesitate to reach out to MidAmerica Basement Systems. We would be more than happy to send a Design Specialist out to come to take a look at your foundation wall and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Call us today!
Rick had an older home with a leaking foundation. Due to the leaking, the basement always had a musty odor coming from it. He reached out to MidAmerica Basement Systems to see what kind of solution they could set for him. Rick was offered the CleanSpace Liner along the leaking wall. CleanSpace is a thick “pool-like” liner that will help reduce the moisture levels significantly. With the CleanSpace linking to a WaterGuard system, water and moisture will properly be redirected to a TripleSafe sump. Installing a SaniDry Sedona will complete the new waterproofing system for Rick. The musty odor is no longer an issue for his home.
